Simulation Of Sintering In Powder Metallurgy Application For Ferrous Materials

This research project is an insight of the computer simulation of sintering process used in developing parts through Powder Metallurgy. Sintering process depends on the particle size, shape, and distribution of particle size. Different types of powders will result in different packing on compaction and porosity on sintering. The objective of this research is to identify the mathematical equations that can be used for monitoring sintering process. These equations were used to generate the computer simulation to identify suitable time and temperature for sintering process.
